Piecing Sentences

Still working on the Phillies quilt but I have progressed to the back where I'm adding pieced words. And it's so much fun. Why did I hesitate so long before trying it?

After piecing his name one letter at a time, I totaled each remaining letter and sewed batches. It worked well until the m's. There are two, right next to each other. For some reason I pieced them exactly the same. It looks a little dorky. Oh, well. Dorky is good.

Of course, adding these sentences to the back is a major point but, as importantly, the back needs to be filled. So why cut fabric from the sentence below when I'll just sew more back onto it? Instead, I simply straightened the seam line between the two words and squared up the perimeter.

I thought this would be enough but it still needs something else. One more sentence or phrase.

The "For who?" quotes Aaron Rowand who played fearlessly for the Phillies until signing with the Giants in 2008 and helping them win the 2010 World Series. {Yes. I searched until I found a great quote that has a link to the Giants. Even if they are in the cellar this year.}

Such darling letters and sentences. I wish I had time to play but right now I'm a little overwhelmed with other projects. I love the way these are turning out. Appreciate the LSU explanation, I was wondering also. Oh and couldn't an "m" be an "E" if you turn it sideways?

I know about being overwhelmed. This is the last graduation quilt - 3 years late. That's why they all had LSU and year. The others were written with thread though. You're right. That m could be an E. I think about you when I visit my son in BR. Enjoy.
